  Gleich nach dem Öffnen eher kühler, zurückhaltender Eindruck.
  
  Sehr dunkles Rubin, kaum Randaufhellung, zieht schnell Tränen, sehr adstringent am Glas. Kirschfruchtige Nase (Amarena), auch Johannisbeere und etwas Honig im Nachklang. Am Gaumen offen und kommunikativ aber doch noch eher von frischer Säure und nach wie vor forschen Tanninen geprägt. Aromen-/Fruchtprofil ähnelt der Nase, gute Präsenz am Gaumen und tolle Länge. Mal sehen was das Ding mit etwas Luft kann… 92
  
  Nach eineinhalb Stunden wird der Wein deutlich stoffiger, mundfüllend und dicht. Das hat noch deutliches Entwicklungspotenzial, nächste Flasche in 2-3 Jahren. 93

  Brick red, slight brown at the edge. Some red fruits in the nose, tannin bouquet. Ripe fruits, little bit harsh tannins. Medium finish. Below my expectations. Maybe an odd bottle.

  Un bin passablement ouvert et évolué pour un 2011. on ressent bien l’effet climat froid sur l’ensemble du vin
  C’est évolué certe, mais pas désagréable.
  L’ensemble est relativement ouvert, des notes de fruit rouge, de cuir, du balsamique, et quelques épices
  En bouche, c’est plus jeune, belle matière, du menthol, de la cerise, des tannins très doux mais perceptible et quelques notes d’épices douces.
  Finale de belle longueur moyenne sur le fruit et les épices et la rétro olfaction apporte beaucoup de précision dans le fruit
  beau vin, outre le nez un peu viellot c’est super
  Une région à découvrir!

  Brown-Red colored. Nose of balsamico, wet earth, cigar box, pepper. Red fruit with tertiary aromas (spices, mushrooms) on the palate. Very well integrated tannins.

  Already at the beginning of his drinking window and will be there maybe for 5-10 years. PnP, it jumps out of the glass and seems to need no decanting. Nose of crushed stones, fresh, red pepper, herbs and dark meat, a little bit of liquorice, complex. On the medium to full palate it continues with a mix of crushed stones, pure minerality, red pepper and red fruits. Very BDX-like. (CS/ME) . Very dense, pressure on the palate and lasting long. I tasted it 3 times since 2017 (every 2 years) and you could taste the development. 2017 it was good, fruity, approachable. In 2019 it was closed, not showing his potential. Now it springs out of the glass with complex aromas and should be close to his best phase....
